The word 具有 is formed by combining two characters, each contributing to its overall meaning. 具 originally conveys the idea of "tool" or "means", extending to "to prepare" or "to possess". 有 directly means "to have" or "to exist". When joined, 具 amplifies and formalizes the possessing action of 有, creating a compound verb that implies "to possess" in a more inherent, substantive, or abstract sense, as if holding something as a characteristic or quality.
